@weirdlittleboy – Wow, nice. I actually don’t consider myself a collector. I just don’t want second hand, cuz they might have imperfections that make them unplayable. I only buy CD’s, no digital or vinyl. I like physical copies cuz I have backups to my songs after I rip them. Add me on Steam if you’re a gamer – unless you ever engage in griefing, you are already dead to me so don’t even bother. The name is killswitch and I have Calvin (Calvin & Hobbes) as my avatar XD

@the pan: I usually use all my cds- The only double I bought was SI. How do you collect your stuff? You will have a lot of digital downloads, won’t you?
You know, I was born in 1975 so I grew up with vinyls and tapes. When I was about 15 I got my first compact disc player- and actually one of my first cds were TRT and Introduce Yourself. So I have a lot of discs, which are older than 20 years and I never recognized any troubles. Would you like to tell me something about your other hobbies/activities/your life in Canada?

@weirdlittleboy – So when you do find new CD’s you always take the plastic wrapping off so you can listen to the music? You never buy doubles or just digital on the side for listening purposes?

I was able to find 5 new Siouxsie albums for cheap, all original releases. I can’t believe they’re still around after all these years, as I’m assuming after remasters are released they no longer print originals. I personally have this aversion to previously used CD’s, so it might take awhile to find the others. What’s the oldest working CD you have? Do you ever worry that the humidity will damage it? I hear 20 years is a long life for them.

@the pan: I am looking for collectable used original releases like Singles or special editions from back them. So usually there’s no plastic wrapping anymore. But my Sol Invictus Vinyl is still wrapped…I have the Australian KFAD disc as well and though I already have had all the b-sides on it- it’s nice to own this Album. But I don’ t buy expensive things just to have it. For example a couple of weeks ago I bought two Vinyl Singles for 1€ each on eBay.It’s just a hobby. Did you get your siouxsie stuff yet?

@weirdlittleboy – That must be the Australian edition, with 6 bonus tracks. At this point, I’m no longer looking, but waiting to see if they will release a more comprehensive b-sides album. If I were to buy, it would be the Rhino reissue along with The Very Best of Definitive Ultimate Greatest Hits Collection because those two discs would give me the 12 b-sides I want. I’m holding off, because I don’t like paying over $50 for 12 remastered tracks. Hate remastering. So purchasing those discs will be a desperate plan B. Anyway, thanks for the thought! Do you purchase used discs to add to your collection? And do you take the plastic wrapping off? I have always wondered this about collectors…

Benrun { Looking forward to Dead Cross, Primitive Race, new Imperial Teen, the next Como Asesinar y Felipes record Billy is producing. I'm still enjoying listening to the WCAL reissue...but man, I could really go for an official live release or something about now. } – Jan 14, 9:04 PM

Benrun { Awesome Bobby! I got a cheap model for my birthday back in October....but it sounds good with headphones, doesn't transfer digitally all that well. I listed to the Imperial Teen Ivanka single from 1998 before they re-recorded it for the "On" album. I like the original version a lot, plus I hadn't heard the B-Side "Sweet and Touching" since 1998 when I moved out of my parent's house and didn't have access to a record player anymore. I love that song! I love vinyl, but I also love a digital copy of all the songs. I also listened to my... } – Dec 31, 1:15 AM

Benrun { So in his interview, Chuck talks about plans to move to England so that his life partner and mother of his children can be around her family. I was hoping to talk him out of this....I live in Ohio and I haven't gotten to see him live yet! Now....I kind of wish I was heading out of the USA too. But I can't leave now, I have too much work to do. I'm a white, straight, middle class, American man. I feel the need to help my documented and undocumented countrymen and women who don't look like me or love... } – Nov 09, 7:17 PM

EF { It is very slow times. I'm a little curious as to what's going on with the guys. Are we to expect news out of nowhere for a new album...or is the group about to, to quote Mike Tyson, "fade into Bolivia"? I'm not sure how busy the guys are and where FNM falls in their priority list, but I'd love to think....maybe....2017? } – Nov 17, 2:59 PM

Todd { Benrun, thanks for your reply. I figured someone on here might know what I am getting at. With Roddy, he strikes me as the very personable, outgoing introvert. He is usually soft-spoken. Yes, he is strong in his convictions. But he also seems to be really loose and playful. Just check out his dance moves on stage! And yeah, Gould is the mastermind. Highly structured, organized, conceptual, with strong command of highly technical details. I've read interviews with him in which he goes off on all the technical equipment and processes he uses and this kind of information just seems... } – Oct 19, 3:45 AM

Benrun { I took a personality test myself just now...and I am the same as Bill, INTJ! I find that interesting in the sense that while I am a Roddy side project fan and Patton side project fan, it is Bill and his bass, lyrics, and songwriting that speaks to me so personally that I became an obsessive FNM fan, but also love everything musical that Bill touches....Harmful, the Rebirth EP, Fugly, Talking Book, Hayduk, even the music he just points out the direction towards. I think I had 3/5 of the same favorite Bowie songs as him too. I've never been... } – Oct 19, 3:20 AM

Benrun { I studied psychology back in the day, but I don't speak that language anymore. I had to look those up...I think you nailed Patton, Gould, Puffy, and Hudson. Roddy could be several possibilities for me...definitely ISFP, but also ESFJ, ENFP, or even ENTP. As much as Jon is the quiet man, Roddy is maybe the most difficult to pin down. He's absolutely a really kind person, but he also doesn't take anyone's shit. Ever. Plus he's creative and takes some pretty creative risks (ie: Sasquatch the Opera). Thanks, this was a fun topic! } – Oct 19, 2:39 AM

Benrun { Yeah, it's hard to pick any video other than Last Cup of Sorrow as their best video. It is easily the best, while From Out of Nowhere is easily the worst! } – Oct 08, 1:15 PM

Bobby B Better { I've always been a big fan of the last cup of sorrow video too. The band hasn't been in their last 4 videos starting with I started a joke...hopefully next time. } – Oct 08, 5:48 AM

Bobby B Better { Actually, I take it back...Separation Anxiety is completely and totally awesome. I just watched CoS & SA back to back. CoS is really good but SA is something else. } – Oct 08, 5:43 AM

ty { this no show from the band wont cut it. its obvious Billy is willing to do everything for the promotion of the record but others don't seem to be as involved unfortunately. the song doesn't fit the clip at all but it looks good and seedy to fit the mood of the song. interesting that the band decided to promote the record 12 months after the Sunny Side Up single and the Seperation Anxiety videos. and also, this is an E.P? if theres unreleased songs on it then what a shame it wont be released on cd! } – Oct 01, 4:24 AM

Benrun { I'm not sure why mobile wouldn't show it, but just follow that link I posted. Also, here's a really good interview with Bill, Roddy, and Puffy (together! - and good things happen when the 3 of them are spending time together - it doesn't happen a ton since Roddy lives in NYC): https://noisey.vice.com/en_us/article/faith-no-more-cares-a-lot } – Sep 27, 3:20 PM

Benrun { Actually, the cover looks like the band's dog Henry in an Elizabethan collar (cone of shame). I'm not sure who owns Henry the pug?? Is it Patton? Roddy? } – Sep 27, 2:47 AM

Benrun { I saw Nov 25th on the amazon search that you recommended. If you click on the individual formats, the Nov 25th line does not appear, but it does on the broad search: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1/160-7954925-9272251?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=faith+no+more+cone+of+shame There is even a cover for the record now! } – Sep 27, 2:45 AM

Benrun { I don't think anything good was added to this song. The trouble with FNM covers seems to be that no one ever captures the feel or intent of the song. WCAL is a punk, snarky F U song. This just sounds too serious and angry. The only FNM covers I've liked have been total re-interpretations, like Race to Space doing Stripsearch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dToGw9YAauM or The Sparteens doing Digging The Grave https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GmvHcQ1YLg } – Sep 21, 2:03 PM

Bobby B Better { The come of shame teaser really looks to me like an album cover (single)...my guess is a record store day release } – Sep 17, 4:12 AM

Bobby B Better { Yeah, I keep thinking about the remasters. I don't have any of those albums on vinyl, so I'm leaning toward that and going to itunes for the tracks I don't have on CD. } – Sep 17, 4:01 AM

benrun { yes very few of us left it seems.I don't know what the cone of shame teaser means but I am really excited.I broke down and bought p rhino reissue anywaybut they have not arrived yet.so far from samples I do not hear a sound quality improvement, not that it was really necessary though } – Sep 16, 12:35 PM

Bobby B Better { I don't do Facebook so I shall share my excitement here...CONE OF SHAME!!??!! Benrun, I'm not sure if it's just you me and admin anymore...no one else seems to comment lately...but if so at least we have each other. I'm guessing a lot read but don't comment...what do the stats look like lately Admin? } – Sep 16, 4:48 AM
